After the surgery they put Marco in to a recovery room rather than his original room. His parents are the only ones aloud back to see him. They walk in the room and Marco is still asleep.
"Maybe we should go get something to eat and then come back." Mr. Del Rossi says to Mrs. Del Rossi.
"No, I'm going to be here when he wakes up." Mrs. Del Rossi says sitting down in a chair next to Marco's bed.
"You haven't eaten in two days." Mr. Del Rossi says walking over to his wife.
"You go and bring me something back." Mrs. Dell Rossi says watching Marco lay there.
"Ok I'll be right back." Mr. Del Rossi says kissing Mrs. Del Rossi.
Mr. Del Rossi leaves to go to the cafeteria in the hospital. Not even two minutes after he leaves Marco wakes up.
"Marco, you're awake." Mrs. Del Rossi says hugging Marco.
"Yeah, I am Ma, am I going to live?" Marco asks hugging Mrs. Del Rossi.
"You're looking good." Mrs. Del Rossi says still hugging Marco.
"Ma did you tell him? Did you tell pa that I'm gay?" Marco asks as Mrs. Del Rossi finally lets him go.
"No Marco that is your job." Mrs. Del Rossi says looking at Marco shocked that that's what Marco is thinking and worrying about.
"Sorry Ma, its just he's been acting strange lately. Especially around Dylan." Marco
"We're all just shaken up about this whole wreck." Mrs. Del Rossi says as she sits back down.
"Ma, its not Dylan's fault we wrecked. I started an argument with him." Marco says looking at Mrs. Del Rossi.
"Relax Marco, we're not worried about that. We just want you to be ok…and…and…to live." Mrs. Del Rossi says tearing up again.
"Ma, its just Dylan and I are just now working stuff out again, and I really love him." Marco says as Mr. Del Rossi walks back in the room just catching the very end of what Marco says.
"Marco, you're awake. Who do you really love?" Mr. Del Rossi says walking all the way in and giving Mrs. Del Rossi her food.
Marco looks from Mrs. Del Rossi to Mr. Del Rossi and then remembers what Dylan said about waiting to come out until after he is well and out of the hospital.
"You pa, I really love you." Marco says glancing back at Mrs. Dell Rossi who looks upset that Marco just lied to Mr. Del Rossi.
"I really love you too Marco." Mr. Del Rossi says hugging Marco.
"Am I going to get to leave soon?" Marco asks Mr. Del Rossi
"Hopefully." Mr. Del Rossi says looking at Mrs. Del Rossi.
"When can I see my friends again?" Marco asks Mrs. Del Rossi.
"When you get out of recovery and back to you original room you can call them and have them come up to visit with you for awhile tonight." Mrs. Del Rossi
Marco's Doctor walks into the room a few minutes later.
"Good your awake." He says walking over to Marco's bed and checking the machines Marco is hooked up too.
"Yes and ready to get out of here." Marco says watching the doctor.
"Now relax and be patient. Everything looks good right now and we are going to move you back to your original room. You should be well enough to go home in a day or two." The doctor says smiling down at Marco before the nurses come in to move him back to his room
"There you are." A nurse says after hooking all the machines and everything back up.
"Thanks." Marco says looking around to see more balloons and stuff in the room.
"IF you need anything just push this button." She says pointing out a button next to Marco, before leaving.
"Are you going to call some friends?" Mrs. Del Rossi
"Yeah, you guys don't have to stay with me." Marco says giving Mrs. Del Rossi a look like I'll be fine.
"Ok, if you need us just call." Mr. Del Rossi says walking towards the door.
"Bye." Mrs. Del Rossi says hugging Marco again.
They leave and Marco calls Dylan.
"Hey" Dylan says answering the phone
"Hey, do you want to come up here for awhile?" Marco
"Sure, are you ok?" Dylan
"Yeah" Marco
"I'll be there in a few minutes. I love you." Dylan
"I love you too." Marco says before hanging up.
Marco turns on the TV and watches it while waiting for Dylan. Dylan walks in a few minutes later.
"Hey" Dylan says walking over to Marco's bed and kissing him.
"Hey" Marco says sitting up a little more.
"Did your parents just leave?" Dylan
"Yeah I had another surgery today." Marco
"What?" Dylan
"Something about internal bleeding, but the doctor said everything looks good now and I should be able to leave soon." Marco
"Good." Dylan
"So what did you do today?" Marco
"I sat around waiting for you to call." Dylan
"Really?" Marco
"Yeah I just cleaned and stuff." Dylan
"You didn't have to sit around just because I'm stuck in here." Marco
"There's nothing to do with out you. Besides I'm worried about you." Dylan
"Why are you worried?" Marco
"Because its all my fault and I love you." Dylan
"Ok, but still I don't think you should be blaming yourself. I started the argument." Marco
"Ok, so it wasn't all my fault but I feel like it was. I was the one pressuring you into coming out to you dad when you aren't ready." Dylan
"Lets just not talk about it. Forget it ever happened." Marco
"That's kind of hard to do with you in here and all." Dylan
"Ok, but we don't have to talk about it." Marco
"Fine" Dylan says getting up and walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Marco
"For a cool down walk before we both end up saying or doing something we don't want to do." Dylan
"Are you going to come back?" Marco
"Yeah as soon as I've clamed down." Dylan
"Ok, whatever." Marco says as Dylan walks out of the room.
After about ten minutes or so Dylan comes back into the room.
"I'm sorry." Dylan says walking over to Marcos bed.
"I'm sorry too." Marco says scooting over a little bit so Dylan could sit down.
"Why are you sorry?" Dylan asks sitting down next to Marco
"For making you feel like it's your fault, for arguing in the first place over something stupid." Marco
"Ok." Dylan
"So do you want to stay here tonight?" Marco
"Are you sure they'd be ok with that?" Dylan
"I'm not sure they'd care." Marco
"Ok then I guess I will." Dylan
"Good." Marco
The next day when Marco wakes up Dylan walks into the room.
"Hey where did you go?" Marco asks as Dylan comes back over and sits down next to him.
"To get something to eat." Dylan says opening a package of cookies out of a vending machine.
"Those look good." Marco
"They are." Dylan says smiling at Marco as he eats another cookie.
"You are kidding right?" Marco
"Kidding about what?" Dylan
"You're really going to sit there and eat those in front of me with out even giving me a little bite" Marco says giving Dylan a puppy dog sort of look.
"Yeah." Dylan says looking away from Marco.
"Oh really then I'll just have to" Marco grabs the cookies and eats one before finishing his sentence. "steal one."
"Oh really then." Dylan says and he starts tickling Marco.
"Ok ok you can have it back." Marco says trying to get Dylan to stop tickling him.
"Nah now I don't want it." Dylan says after he stops tickling Marco.
"You're so mean." Marco says jokingly, and smiling.
"Yeah well you're not very nice either." Dylan says jokingly back to Marco.
They are sitting on the bed just talking and goofing off. When Mr. and Mrs. Del Rossi come in.
"Hello Marco, Hello Dylan" Mr. and Mrs. Del Rossi say when they walk in the door.
"Hello" Marco and Dylan say back.
"Good news Marco, you get to go home." Mr. Del Rossi
"Finally, what time do I get to leave?" Marco
"Now" Mrs. Del Rossi says smiling at Marco
"I'll help take stuff over there if you'd like." Dylan says to Mr. Del Rossi.
"That would be great. Thank you Dylan." Mr. Del Rossi says handing Dylan some flowers and balloons to take.
Later that night Marco is in his room talking to Dylan on the phone.
"Hey Sexy." Dylan says answering the phone.
"Hey. You seem happy." Marco
"I am, Happy that you're out of the hospital." Dylan
"Yeah me too. I was serious you know." Marco
"Serious about what?" Dylan
"Coming out to my dad. It's time he knows." Marco
"Oh, I'm glad you want to come out to him, but don't do it just because I want you too." Dylan
"It's not all because of you, I'm sick of hiding. I want him to know the real me Dylan, the real us." Marco
"Do you want me to be there with you when you do come out to him?" Dylan
"Yes and No. I do but you probably shouldn't because I don't know how he's going to react. Besides I don't know how to do it." Marco
"Take your time. I'll be here for you no matter what." Dylan
"I know and that's why I love you." Marco
"I love you too. Do you think they'd let you hang out with me at the mall tomorrow?" Dylan
"I don't know. I think I'll be held prisoner for a few days at least." Marco
Well that sucks. Maybe I'll just come over then?" Dylan
"Sounds good to me." Marco
"I figured it would." Dylan
"Well I'm going to get going bye." Marco
"Bye I love you." Dylan
"I love you too." Marco
